Fresh defeats in the Lords over Rwanda bill
Quick Glance: Government's Rwanda Plan Faces Opposition in Lords Leading to Ongoing Discussions
  • The government's plans for Rwanda encountered further obstacles in the House of Lords on Wednesday, with peers suffering seven fresh defeats against the bill.

  • Amendments related to compliance with domestic and international law, monitoring Rwanda's safety, and preventing the removal of specific individuals to Rwanda were supported by the Lords.

  • The Lords also backed changes concerning the age assessment of unaccompanied children and the protection of victims of modern slavery.

  • Despite the rejection of amendments by MPs, the bill is facing delays and additional debates due to the Lords' insistence on alterations, resulting in a legislative 'ping-pong' between the two houses.

Jeremy Hunt: Chancellor says £100,000 not a huge salary in Surrey
Quick Glance: Jeremy Hunt's View on £100k Income & Financial Realities
  • Jeremy Hunt's perception of £100,000 as a high income contrasts with the national median of £35,000, placing it significantly above average.

  • Even in affluent areas like Godalming and Ash, where Hunt is campaigning, the median income of £56,606 shifts the perspective on six-figure salaries.

  • Hunt's remarks were deemed inappropriate by experts as data shows many households are struggling due to living costs, including those in higher income brackets.

  • New tax and benefit regulations for higher incomes could lead to unexpected financial burdens, as the offer of free childcare for parents earning over £100,000 is limited.
